Tolerance can be improved by taking 1 or 2 capsules daily to start with and increase weekly to the full 6 capsule dose. Alternatively keeping the daily dose at 1 or 2 capsules is an option.

Also make sure to drink plenty of water, as this will help assist your body with any detoxifying effect.

If you are concerned we suggest you get professional medical advice from a dietitian, a functional medicine practitioner or your doctor.

The ingredients in Hirsch organ meat supplements are sourced exclusively from British Soil Association organic farms and manufactured in organic certified facilities. In the UK all beef cows are raised on pasture and grass fed, except in bad weather conditions when they need to be housed inside for their welfare and even then are normally fed on silage and beets.

We do not use the defatting process for our organ meat supplements. They contain 100% organic UK beef organs, freeze dried and encapsulated - nothing else and nothing taken out.

Hirsch Organic Organ Meat Supplements are produced to a BRC certified standard in the UK and certified organic by the Soil Association. BRC is a leading safety and quality certification program, used by over 21000 certificated suppliers in 90 countries. The standards guarantee the standardisation of quality, safety and operational criteria and ensure that manufacturers fulfil their legal obligations and provide protection for the end consumer.

Our beef organ mix is sourced from British organic farms that are Soil Association certified.  Growth hormones are banned completely in the UK.

The US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada allow farmers to give antibiotics to livestock to make them grow faster.  This is banned in the UK. The Soil Association also specifically restricts the use of certain antibiotics.  As a result the use antibiotics on Soil Association certified beef farms is 3.5x lower than other UK farms on average. Organic standards aim to promote good health and welfare so that disease is exceptional rather than routine.

Every Hirsch production run is tested for the following heavy metals: Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury. Contact us if you would like to see these results for a specific product/batch please contact us. 

We complete microbiology testing on each production run, e.g. for mould and pathogens and conduct a yearly test on the vitamin and mineral content of the product. Contact us and we can share these results with you.
